Inspired in part by Ovid's Metamorphoses, "Polaroid Stories" takes place on an abandoned pier on the outermost edge of a city in this spellbinding tale of young people pushed to society's fringe. Informed, as well, by interviews with young prostitutes and street kids, "Polaroid Stories" conveys a whirlwind of psychic disturbance, confusion and longing. Like their mythic counterparts, these modern-day mortals are engulfed by needs that burn and consume. Their language mixes poetry and profanity, imbuing the play with lyricism and great theatrical force.
